The day before every major event, The Post’s MMA expert Marc Raimondi breaks down what you should know in order to intelligently wager on the fight.

On Saturday, the UFC is in Las Vegas for UFC 160. Cain Velasquez defends his heavyweight title against Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva and, in the co-headliner, Junior dos Santos will try to earn a rematch against Velasquez with a win over Mark Hunt.

Here are the lines from 5dimes:

If you like finishes, this is probably the UFC card for you. I’d be stunned if the main event and co-main event didn’t end in knockouts – quickly. Those fights usually make for dangerous bets, but not in this case. Velasquez just has too many physical tools for the plodding Silva to contend with. That’s an easy win – Velasquez has already beaten “Bigfoot.” Dos Santos-Hunt is a little harder to figure, but JDS’ precision and technical ability gives him the nod. He’ll find Hunt’s chin and put him away in the first round

Those two are easy for your parlay. We’re going to get bolder with the rest. Teixeira should handle Te Huna and Maynard’s wrestling will be too much for Grant. Then there’s Cerrone-Noons. Cerrone’s kicks and knees give him a big edge over Noons, but Noons is super tough. Still, those five in a parlay make for a really nice payout. Worth the risk.

Speaking of wrestling, Story-Pyle will be a battle of two guys who are pretty good at that facet of the game. Story is a a little better, though, and if things stay standing he has more power too. Make him one of your straight bets. Add in Thompson, too. “Wonderboy” is a top prospect and his diverse striking attack will give Burrell fits.

The upset special on this card is really tough. There is one line that’s overdone, however. Bermudez is very good and a prospect at 26 years old. But –300 against a very solid Holloway? I’m not so sure. Take a flier on Holloway and hope he can solve Bermudez’s wrestling.

LOOKING BACK

Sweep! After an abymsal stretch, Best Bets rallied in a huge way last week with UFC on FX 8. The parlay came through and so did everyone else – Nik Lentz, Rafael dos Anjos and Vitor Belfort in the upset special. Now if only we can keep these momentum going.
